Nov 18,,, off to VA

Sunday, Nov 18 2012

Woke up with a sense of excitment about the long trip. 3 hrs drive into VA along the i-95.

Still on a high after the hike, dinner and after dinner party at sids house. Will miss them all. Hopefully will be back for the Thursday, Thanks giving day hike... guess all those people who are not living with family or are not able to visit family or like in my case, not having a family to go to in the continent. will end up on that hike to just get away from the boredom of sitting at home.

Success... interesting debate with Do on FB


Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money. Johnny Cash.

me-> hmmmmmm, thats probably just financial Success... I like to think that each individual has his or her own measure of achieving success, based on what is more important to them in their life.

D ->When you get 100 Million in investment and you get a chance to worry about society issues and can actully do something about it without the worry of money your views might change...

me- >Exactly I would be thinking "oh yea, now I have FINANCIAL success", but then again my core priorities in life may not be "success" as defined by my financial worth. Success is different for each person. example: for some it maybe finding Love, for some it maybe been a good Parent, for some it maybe inventing a cure for Cancer / Aids, for some it could be going out and shooting a couple of Ducks, getting high,, getting Laid every day, having a collection of rare coins, having a drink, having a party every day, going out running every day, visiting different county every month, .... ;)..... hehehe,,, it goes on. Different Strokes for Different people.

11:45,,, got the rental from Enterprise.. pick up got delayed and came in around 10:52am.
But never the less very courteous and customer friendly service, unlike the Avis personal, who seem to display less of professionalism.

pack up the laptop and be there in VA in about 3 hrs time to check into Homewood suites :)))) with an indoor swimming pool,,, at last for some swimming,, hopefully I do not feel shy and back out.

7:45pm
Got into Virginia , after a tiring long drive on the I95... got into the hotel around 4pm and got a huge room with kitchen ,, luckly they are going to have breakfast and dinner from mon to thur.. niceeee

Went out driving to check out the area, boy they have huge wide roads, unlike the congested streets around Philly.

Went to the mall near by, did not see a good place to eat there. So did a quick search with the smart phone and came across a cluster of indian restaurant close to my hotel.. hmm so it was drive back and there ended up seeing a new restaurant from Hyd sounding name, Persis,,,, placed order for dum ka biriyani around 5:45 and picked it up around 6:30..

Got back to the hotel and had the spicy , loaded Dum ka biriyani..
watching nfl on  a 48 inch flat screen and biriyani... yummmm..

Now as I expected or feared, I chickened out of swiming in the indoor swimming pool. dammm maybe tomorrow.
